Fly High

I was wild and free, Free to soar in the sky! The sky was my home, I was the emperor of the skies.No one escaped my sight! I ate at my will to all my fill, With no rival to fight.But now I am a prisoner; In a prison where not even my wings fit in.A meal a day; Something that tastes like hay.All I have is but memories of my glorious past; And never to be free again!

Splendor Of Nature

It was a dreamy night, With no power for artificial light.Shadows played hide and seek in the moon light.A gentle breeze against my face; A slight drizzle enticing you to enjoy it! Time seemed to be slow in pace, A tempting offer too fine to refuse; I just gave into it.Such a beautiful ballet by nature, Simple yet mesmerizing, Age old yet addicting.What a wonderful night! A priceless night!

Snow White

In a sea of darkness, Amidst an ocean of silence, Rustling trees in the wind, Creates a nostalgic scenery.A subtle mellow drama, A ghastly feeling, A strange chill down your spine; A scene that creates a mixed feeling! The drama unfolds, With the appearance of the protagonist! She appears with the cloud, As a veil, like a bride! She is dressed in pure white; An ageless and timeless beauty! The Serene Moon.

What Is Sweet In Love?

What is sweet in loveIf not kept secret? Meet me away from the crowd.Just tell meWhere and when! For how much moreIs our love precious, Than a trinket of diamond and gold! Since the beginning of time, A love in secret is alwaysSweeter than wine.Let our love be knownTo the only One Divine.And in his presenceLet our hearts entwine.Let not the world knowI am your only love! For our love is notA Shakespeare's play.But a sanctuary for us alone to enjoy.

Captain Bravado

The sun shines, O'er the trees and vines.The wind wind embracesThe leaves with a gentle clasp.The broken reeds like a harp, Play their tune amidst the gloomy haze.At a distance braving the storm in the sea, Against the crashing tides with a glee.A Captain set to cheat fate, With a crew of bravado and valour.Towards the distant beacon of a harbour.Against the tide, through Hell's Gate, Sailing to reach ashore! Waiting for another storm, To brave once more.

Rain! Rain! Come Today!

Showers of blessing! I thought seeing the rain.Some feel depressed, Some feel sad, But for me it seems to wash my sadness! A cycle ride in the rain; Brings such joy to the soul; Drenched in the chill of the rain, Makes me forget all my pain.When the sun appearsWith the rain as its veil, Spreading a ray of happiness, With a rainbow as a smile! It creates an irresistable awe! A scene that can make any one happy.Oh, How I wish it rains often! Just to feel happy for no reason.

Fireflies

On a moonless night, With icy winds chilling my spine.I sat down on the footsteps of my cottage; Wondering what an empty night that was.No sound of vehicles or people; What a perfect silence! I was wondering.Just as i stood to leave, In the mist i saw small flashes.Dazed and bewildered in its beauty I stood; A beauty out of the world! First i saw only the flashes, But then i realized.They were dancing to a beat of their own! A flawless silent choreography.I felt out of the world; A night to be remembered forever!

Dance Of The Soul

Shades of Grey, Black and White, Paint the star studded moonlit night.Rustlling leaves and waving trees; Raging winds and subtle sounds.A song that stirs the mum soul.A song that breaks the chains of silence! The soul dances with joy profound, Throngs helter-skelter, In the vast emptiness of the night.In a dimension of its own, still unseen! A place, the words of this WorldCan never comprehend! A passage to the divine realm itself, Let the soul profferIt's dance ceasing never! Till it becomes, An entity of Heaven itself!

This Is War

The sun rises over the wretched trench.Barbed wires line the way.Shattered bodies and rounds of shells, Fill the air with a ghastly stench.The Reaper lay await for this harvest day, Distant churches rung their death knell.The sound of shots ringing, Shatters the sleep of the dormant vale.The rain of fire seems never to end, The earth lies barren with no life clinging! All the peace and serene locked in a gaol.A remenant scar not lost in time's bend.The pain, anguish and agony, Never leaves the hearts of many.Some mourn for the lost near and dear, Some mourn for the peace, We seldom cherish and cheer.
